Cold. Warm. Cold. That has been the way of things in the “real world” weather-wise, and Mega Millions appeared to follow suit. But, there were signs in the April 24, 2018 drawing that spring may stick around this time! One sign was the establishment of a Pattern Streak. And, as we’ve seen in the past, Mega Millions is no stranger to end-of-month grand finales.
